Gauge Field Theories (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) 2nd Edition by Stefan Pokorski (PDF)

Description

Quantum field theory forms the present theoretical framework for our understanding of the fundamental interactions of particle physics. This updated and expanded volume examines gauge theories and their symmetries with an emphasis on their physical and technical aspects. A new introductory chapter gives a systematic overview to classical field theories and a short discussion of their canonical quantization and the discrete symmetries C, P and T. Coverage provides a brief exposition of perturbation theory, the renormalization program, and the use of the renormalization group equation. It then explores topics of current research interest including chiral symmetry and its breaking, anomalies, and low energy effective Lagrangians and some basics of supersymmetry. A chapter on the basics of the electroweak theory is also new to this edition, as well as an appendix that contains a complete set of Feynman rules for the Standard Model. This volume will be ideal for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics, condensed matter physics, and applied mathematics.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “The book is thoughtfully planned and very well written. The exposition of difficult points is very clear…For students who have already had an introductory course in field theory, and for research workers in the field, I know of no better and more complete guide.” L.H. Ryder, Times Higher Education Supplement Book Description An expanded and up-dated book examining gauge theories and their symmetries.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Very thorough and approachable. Doesn’t skimp on details nor on pedagogy. A definite favorite.Sadly, I lost my copy in a Chicago uber 🙁

⭐I learned from cheng and li, which isnt bad itself, but i found myself frequenting this book because of it’s structure. If i ever taught field theory i think this would be an ideal second semester book, first semester something more mundane like mandl or ryder. It’s got a strong QCD flavor (no pun intended) to the second half. There isnt any old-style operator approached presentation in the book, but basically ti makes sense to stress the path integral viewpoint because it makes gauge theories easier to deal with as well as more advanced topics. I find there are a lot of details here that arent found elsewhere.anyway i liked it.
